Hello,

Looks like another window is in need of replacement (on the photo). I want to put a new window of the same size as this old one into the same woodwork; also, want to get a window with nail flanges and of the right size to make installation easier.

To measure the exact window frame dimensions, I am thinking of breaking the stucco around one corner to get to the wood frame. Apparently, the stucco around window has been patched some years ago; probably, when the current window was installed.

I was wondering if this is a reasonable thing to do. Or would the wood frame be more accessible from the interior side of the window (the current window stool and jambs are drywall panels)? Both the exterior and interior walls around the window will have to be repaired anyway...

Would appreciate any comment. Best Wishes,
h.

What is problem with the window frame. What appears in pic is that sash has to be replaced. Any good glazier can do the replacement.

Wouldn't it be comparable in price to get a brand new, weather tight and insulated window? Right now the two panes are not insulated; there is a lot of moisture and dust on the interior surfaces of both panes; opening the window is not easy because of some warping and corrosion.

If the existing is thermopane then you have a damaged seal. It would be a lot less expensive to have the sash fixed then to replace the whole window.

To replace window you will have to strip the inside trim and the outside stucco. After window is installed these things would have to be replaced.

With the sash fixed you will only have to fix whatever damage exists now.

Would a glazier be able to put a thermopane? I don't worry too much about the stucco around and the trim because I can replace them myself; besides, the stucco around the window has gone through what seems like a quick, sloppy fix a long time ago -- needs to be addressed anyway.

Unless the glazier manufactures replacement windows he will have to order it in from a place that make them. This will take about 3 days. I have replaced from 2x2 window to 3' sliding door glass.
